AE 321 - Homework #3 Due: Monday February 25, 2019 Chapter 2: Traction and Stress

1. This document provides instructions for homework problems involving stress and traction calculations. The first problem asks to calculate the stress tensor after rotating coordinates, and traction on a plane at an angle. 2. The second problem asks to calculate traction on a plane where the normal makes equal angles with coordinates, and under what conditions traction stays in the plane. 3. The third problem provides a stress field and asks to calculate equilibrium body forces, planar stress conditions, and states of stress at different points.
